China and the CCP are at most communist in name - their entire economic and geopolitical rise was and is based on Western principles and teachings, the only difference being the CCP ruthlessly also uses all the dark patterns that are mostly banned in the West.
The CCP has for decades invited Western scholars to teach them how to make China thrive.
Then they sort-of-invited, sort-of-forced greedy and naive German carmakers to manufacture in state-owned factories so they could get all that knowledge they were not yet getting from espionage. Then bought Volvo, plus KuKA.
If you had setup a project with the goal to boost Chinese car manufacturing, that project would have not been as successful as what has happened in the last 10-20 years thru greed, naivite and stupidity on the Western parts - first and foremost ze germanz. (Where those chickens are coming home to roost, look at the failure VWG has become)
